All current ACC parents and carers are encouraged to join our ACC Marsden Park Parents Group, as going forward, we will be using this space to post announcements, upcoming events and exclusive photos (rather than on our public Facebook page).
Please accurately fill in the Membership Questions to join the group, as each request is checked to ensure only current parents and carers are accepted to the group.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
As part of our expression of hospitality to those who are new to our community, and as a reminder for everyone else, we would like to take this opportunity to outline our procedure for accessing the campus for Drop Off and Pick Up. When approaching the campus for Drop Off (8.00 am - 8.40 am) and Pick Up (2.50 pm - 3.30 pm) please follow directions from staff, to ensure we all work together to benefit neighbours and College families alike.
In addition, please also avoid parking in driveways and no stopping zones around the College. We appreciate your partnership in keeping our community safe!

PREMIER’S READING CHALLENGE 2025
We are pleased to announce that ACC Marsden Park will be participating in the NSW Premier’s Reading Challenge in 2025! The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, read more, and read more widely.
The Premier's Reading Challenge (PRC) is open to all students in Kindergarten to Year 10 and runs from Monday 24 February to Friday 22 August, 2025.
Teachers will provide login access to students once the Challenge begins. All Primary students will be participating and will be provided with an account. Year 7 - 10 students can choose if they would like to participate and can go to the Library to have an account set up for them.

PUBLIC BUS TRAVEL - TAP ON, TAP OFF (Improving Data Program)
On 26 March 2025, a Busways representative will be visiting our campus during the afternoon departure period. During the visit, Busways staff will remind students to use their School Opal card prior to boarding buses and provide information about how to replace a lost card for free.
It is very important that all students catching a public bus tap on and tap off for each trip, as Opal card information gives Busways improved insights as to how many students are catching buses, so they can better plan their services.
Key messages for students that Busways have asked parents to share before the visit are:
Always tap on and off when using your School Opal card.
Follow the Opal Terms of Use and only use your School Opal card for travel to and from school.
Always follow the Student Code of Conduct when you are on the bus.
Be polite and courteous to the bus driver and follow their reasonable instructions.
Need a new Opal card? To replace a lost or stolen School Opal card, scan the QR code below or visit transportnsw.info and follow the prompts. The usual $10 fee will be waived if you order between 1 March and 12 April, 2025.
